This style of joke is called a “shaggy dog joke” the funny part is the person telling the joke purposely wastes your time for a very underwhelming punchline.
It’s not for everyone but norm is an absolute legend
Norms the ultimate troll to pop culture/society hes the best. Hes being sarcastic every moment of his life even when he's alone in his head
That's a good way to put it, his whole life is focused around finding the humor in everything.
When someone asked him about the moth joke in an event, Norm said that this happened after he had done his interview, and another guest was supposed to come in after him, but the other guest called Conan at the last minute saying he wasn't able to get to the show, so Conan asked Norm if he could stay for the next section and talk about something until the show ended. But Norm had already done the material he had prepared for his interview so he had nothing. He asked Conan what he should talk about and Conan told him to tell a joke. He was trying to think of one and the only one that came to mind was the moth joke, but that joke is about 20 seconds long and he needed material for 5 minutes. So he made the joke 5 minutes long...🤣🤣 And the reason the joke is so depressing is because Norm reads a lot of russian literature, which tends to be depressing, and that is what he used to make the joke longer, which is brilliant because the contrast between the depressing story and the silly punchline makes the joke much better.
thats a cool backstory! what a pro.
@@JungleScene He is definitely a pro ua-cam.com/video/0h3DmCG_eV4/v-deo.html
@@oslafoirausuebutuoy5457 i love this back story. the joke made me think of dostoevsky. and i love Norm
I bet you own a doghouse
Definitely caught the Russian literature references and also the Jonathan Edwards “Sinners in the hands of an angry God.” Reference. Spider hanging by a thread over an everlasting fire.
Norm is the greatest late-night talk show guest.
yea, when both David Letterman and Conan Obrien say Norm is one of their favorite recurring guests, you know theres something special happening.
And just one more. Definitely not for the sensitive. Pure comic genius. His delivery is UNMATCHED!!! m.ua-cam.com/video/F7PFdF3J0TE/v-deo.html
In reality, the driver maybe said 5 words to norm 😂
That just makes it all the more absurd, perfect!
They probably chatted, Norm loves talking to people. Did he tell him this joke, nah, Norm's said he learned it from Colin Quinn.
There was no driver.
@@jasonkerr9157 Norm drives himself
@@js01141 Since Norm doesn't know how to drive (seriously), no.
Conan - So Norm...
Norm - What??
That always cracks me up
This is still one of my favourite jokes of all time.
Norm is hilarious. He has his own style like no other comedian
One of the greatest build up for a punchline.
It's been revealed that Norm heard this joke from fellow SNLer Colin Quinn only the joke was twenty seconds long. Norm had no material for when Conan asked him to come back after station break for another segment so when he found out the segment was 7 minutes long, he took that 20 second joke and then winging the entire thing on television, made up the Russian stuff on the spot. Pure brilliance.
The story behind this is amazing. Took a 20 second joke and made this amazing moment. RIP Norm!!
Norm macdonald 12 minute joke is a pretty solid one. Great reaction as always!
Totally agree. Some of Norm’s best stuff is when he drags out the punchline but plays on everyone’s anticipation of a punchline. The 12-minute joke is a classic.
Also recommend his last set on David Letterman. That may be the best!
12-minute joke is different, he carefully crafted it and it has about 50 funny bits in it.
NORM HAD LEUKEMIA AND HE KNEW THAT HE WAS DYING WHEN HE DID THIS, BUT HE KEPT IT A SECRET UNTIL FOUR DAYS AGO WHEN HE PASSED AWAY. Rip, Norm Macdonald, and thanks for all the happiness you brought us through the years. May your son Dylan and your family be comforted at this time as well.
He rambles like that with all his jokes, and delivers a kick ass punch line. Or not, and that's just as funny. Nobody else quite like Norm.
The courage to do the most inane joke of all time & dramatically build it up to next, next level. I love Norm.
If you fall down the rabbit hole of Norm, you will never be the same. Beware! He has gained more of a cult following in the past few years but I still think he's underrated and this is coming from someone who doesn't even care for a lot of his more extreme jokes. He is incredibly entertaining regardless.
Norm on lettermans last show... It is the one of the best most heartfelt bits of all time! Love the reactions.
The driver didn’t tell him the joke, he is actually doing a version of a famous Russian literary tragedy. He wasn’t expecting to be held over for the next segment. They asked him to try and take up 7 minutes or so. He stretched this out on purpose - genius.
RIP to a legend. This one got me
I love norm he is in my top three comedians. His story telling is the best. Thaking joke styles from the 40s and 50s and running with them now. Look at the rost of Bob saget
This is what's called a "Shaggy Dog" story, where he sets up the joke for several minutes... only for the punchline to be something really simple/generic. He's a pro at 'em.
Norm is one of the greatest comedians of all time. Anyone can repeat a funny joke and get a laugh. It takes true talent to take a terrible joke and make it hilarious. Norm Macdonald dirty Johnny is amazing. Also check out Norm Macdonald gets kicked out of Iowa. It's actually a story about Norm told by Jim Brewster but it is one of the funniest stories I have ever heard.
omg yes please more norm!!
Norm is so great!
Hi! This is a late comment. I love your comment about, how is the driver doing. 'That is funny'. At the end of Norm's joke, Conan, with the last laughter, could have put the cherry on top, saying, "I would like to talk to this driver. Maybe she needs a hug". "She is my employee, she is my friend">🙃!
This segment wasn't planned and Norm was not prepared to do a 4 minute segment so he took a 20 seconds old joke a comedian colleague told him and Norm improvised the whole thing.
It's all about the delivery, and Norm was an expert in making people laugh even when he bombed.
The most glaring example of the shaggy dog joke is the dolphin joke, also with Conan.
Check it out!
R. I. P. Old chunk of coal.
The story behind this joke is, supposedly, Norm thought he was only going to be on the show for one segment. What he didn't know was the Conan's people thought they'd play a joke on Norm and keep him out there for another segment, for which he was unprepared. Conan said during the commercial, Norm leaned over and asked how much time he had for the 2nd segment. He was told, like 7 minutes and 35 seconds. So he sat there during the commercial and when they came back for his segment, that's the joke he told. The joke is a very simple, old, joke that is about 30 seconds long to tell. Norm added in all the stuff about the boss, the wife, the daughter, the son, basically, he added 6 and a half minutes to a 30-second joke. There are clips on UA-cam where Conan tells the story.
in reality.there was no driver.thus how he tells his jokes
Ah yes, sink into the marsh of absurdism, join us in the dominion of chunks of coal.
"Don't Laugh At That"
"When The Guest Loves The Joke"
"Alcoholism"
"46 Minutes of Norm Talking To Idiots" (personal favorite)
Oh my god, I just remembered the best Norm anything: 25 minutes of Norm on Radio Programmes (paraphrasing the title, but I genuinely have never laughed at anything as hard as his Holocaust denier ventriloquist doll, and I'm Jewish so you know its god-tier to make me love it lol)
He utilized his extensive vocabulary beautifully in the story. The best part is always the journey anyway.
I love this hair style 😍
Story behind this joke is: Norm thought he will be on Conan only for one segment and when Conan said after segment that they will be back after comercials with more Norm, Norm said to him that he has nothing more to say. So he took this one line joke and made it 5min segment.
Back story: Conan had a guest cancel, and asked Norm if he could fill 5 minutes or so of air time. Of course Norm said "sure", and took a 10 second joke from 1920 or something and streeeeeeeetched it out :)
Great reaction ❤️❤️🩹💔 Norm heals
You should react to "Norm's Dirty Uncles" or "The 12 Minute Joke"
The dude can really tell a story
Uncles is a must. One of the best clips I’ve ever seen from any comedian, never seen a reaction to it on UA-cam.
Also the Professor of Logic joke. Classic
norm macdonald teachers are heros or aa meeting are my two favorites
Norm is a comedian's comedian. He just goes out of his way to make a joke so not funny but at the same time it fn hilarious.
Norm is the king of these kinds of jokes
Legend
Yo watching your face was priceless. Norm is an amazing comedian. i had the same reaction years ago. Wtf long ass story.
Please I love ur reaction to this man
bwahahaha, funniest thing i seen in years. i love Norm.
I was the person! Glad you liked it.
He said he already did a segment earlier. They asked him to stay and do 7 minutes. So he just made that up to fill time.
Please watch, "Norm Macdonald on Germany". One of his greatest bits. Or, it's encompassed in , "Norm Macdonald - Letterman - 2015.05.15". It's the last Letterman show, so it gets sentimental, but it's great.
Best joke teller ever.
Clearly the driver didn't tell him this. Norm is a genius haha
He improvised all of this (except the basic short moth joke) because he didn't realize he was going to do this segment, he thought they were done already.
yes that should be clear. it wasnt clear to niah.
@@ice-iu3vv No, that shouldn't somehow be clear, that's why I gave the info, which Norm mentioned in an interview.
@@thebrazilianatlantis165 i replied to "hating me is conforming" not to you. it was clear to us, i was agreeing with him. perhaps you're dim. it isnt clear to you that the driver didnt tell him this. you think norm actually DOES get material from limo drivers who tell shaggy-dog style moth jokes? ok thats cool. im ... wrong? to think that should "somehow"? be clear.
yesss more norm please!
You starting to discover the greatness of Norm
GOAT status
That's Norm ...one of the funniest men alive...
I read that Norm didn't even know he would be on the show for that segment. I'm sure he knew the joke but all the stuff he said to stretch it out he made up on the fly because they told him it would be so many minutes long and he didn't have anything to talk about so he just made the joke last that long.
One of my favorite jokes lol
Norm's "alcoholic" story is a must .
Check out his dolphin joke on conan
Norms "little Johnny" joke is good too if you can find it.
"So, uh...he started firin'"
Also wasn't it Dirty Johnny?
Love Norm! Check out his bit Alcoholism.
More Norm!
The thing about Norm is, there was no driver.
More. Norman. McDonald. Thanks!
Hey Normies.... We might have a new member in our ranks😁😁😁😁😁
If u havent seen his 12 minute joke PLEASE check it out. So good.
You need to understand the backstory a little bit for this to be even more hilarious. Norm was a regular on Conan. Norm was given a specified amount of time and during a commercial break was given an unexpected 7 minutes of time. The driver "who told this joke" was probably not real, he just used it as a set up for his joke. Norm extended a small joke into about a 6 minute joke to fill up time that was unexpectedly given to him. Here is Conan talking about that joke.
ua-cam.com/video/R07ijRHIdgM/v-deo.html
the 12 minute joke is cool too
Most of his best content comes from TV interviews
-- particularly awkward
Not totally true... Norms stand up us insanely funny.
"TV interviews" No, he's the greatest standup of all time.
@@jasonwall1995 Yes, but he's only the one special. I hadn't meant to imply he wasn't one of the greatest stand-ups of all time, actually.
I saw him talking about this somewhere else and it’s just some short dumb kids joke with the moth and the light. He wanted to see how much bs he could put in the middle and it’d still be funny so he just through in a bunch of dark Russian literature to separate it lol
Norm macdonald 12 minute joke
check an episode of Becker .
PC world S1 e 10
Its an old show but I think you are going to enjoy the contention in it .
Watched
I read that he stretched it out big time to last the segment ahahaha. Damn RIP Norm. Letterman said that il nobody was funnier than Norm.
Hope you like this one better ❤️
do frog joke next!
It's the old distraction and the hook comes lol
Watch Norm Macdonald on The Comedy Central roast of Bob saget
There was never a driver to begin with... dun dun DUNNNNN
norm by a lot of people is considered the best comedian ofd all time, and by comedians he is the best comedian of all time by a vast majority of them.. sometimes like in the roast of bob sagat, he "bombs" he tells jokes that arn't really intended to be a standard funny jokje, in that roast it seems like hes bombing, getting very little laughs.. but you can hear the comedians in the background laughing their asses off.. and a lot of comedians have talked about that roast.. norm has a way with jokes that nobody will ever match.
👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣🤣
the point is to subvert the expectations of a mundane harmless joke and fill it with unnecessary complexity and darkness.
Cute
ever watch his "12 minute joke"? It's on YT, it's funny AF
I wonder where Norm gets his ideas from?
With Norm it ain't even the joke that's funny it's how he just build it up and up to the point of trolling
Please react to his "12-minute joke"
Middling.
His wife is a battle-axe, conan.
The 12 Minute Joke, Alcoholism
I love how you assume the driver told him the joke lol
Norn Macdonald made you snort. Check out Anthony Jeselnik at the Donald Trump roast and yes it was as crazy as it sounds lol
Can you react to Tyler Childers - Country Squire, He's from Eastern Kentucky
Is the driver OK? :0
The driver is fictitious. Norm's jokes are more about the form and delivery, than the content. Even though the content is usually thought provoking.
The snort made it all worth while...
you are adorable
I don't know about you fellas, but this guy seems like real JEARK!
A real what?
Niah, I know you aren't active anymore, but have you heard the tragic news about Norm?
Try Norm's "12 Minute Joke"...
It's just so stupid but norm gets you to laugh at the dumbest shit. It's impossible to not laugh at norm and his ridiculous games.
This is Norms style... funniest nonsense...
What's with the echo?
Niah do more Corey Holcomb
